Color management settings and job submission
The way in which you submit a print job to the printer defines in most cases the file type of the
document. If you use a printer driver, the original file type will be changed by the driver into a
standard file type.
When there is no job ticket or when the job ticket does not include a color management setting,
the printer checks the file type of the document and based on the file type the printer applies the
default color management settings of WebTools Express.
If you use FTP, LPR, Publisher Select or Publisher Express to send a job to the printer, the file type
is not changed. The file is sent to the printer the way in which it was saved in the application you
used to create or edit the file. If there is no embedded color profile present in the document, the
printer checks the file type of the document and based on the file type the printer applies the
default color management settings of WebTools Express.
If you want to use the embedded color profile for your print job (for example, embedded profile
created with Adobe
®
Illustrator) you can choose between 2 options. You can use the Driver Select
for Microsoft® Windows® where you can indicate to follow the color settings managed by the
application. You can also send the job via FTP, LPR, Publisher Select (choose 'Document's color
feel') or Publisher Express. If the controller can recognize the embedded color profile, it will be
applied. If the embedded color profile cannot be recognized, the controller applies the default
color settings managed by WebTools Express.
The table below gives an overview of the relation between the job submission method, the file
type and the color management settings
